feted on the minutes. Convener Milne was not present. He is now, Ave believe, in London. Bailie Gilchrist here introduced Mr. Dundas, who was received with much applause, mixed with some hisses from the spectators. 111 % Dundas--My Lord and Gentlemen—l believe that every man who hears me will admit that, to a person in my situation, it • is no easy task to find adequate terms to convey my sentiments. On such a day as this I may be permitted to recap to your recollection home of the proceedings in Parliament which applied more par ticularly to this city. First, I would direct you to look to that lofty edifice, which for twenty years stood roofless, now one of the greatest ornaments of the city. Then to that build jog, ever the affairs of which it is my province to preside.— (Hear, hear !)—With respect to the present posture of public affairs, I am sorry to think that distress prevails to a great extent both here and in England, but I am convinced that the adive be nevolence of the wealthy part of the community has done all that is possible for benevolence to perform to relieve those difficulties:. The country is now at peace, and Government has done all in its Power to relieve the burdens of the people by the reduction of taxation ; and I have no doubt that if peace continue—and there ono reason to apprehend impending svar, as all nations seem dis- Posed for rest and quiet--those burdens will be still farther re duced, We may be dazzled by the splendour of conquest, and *Wed by accounts of battles won, but my earnest and humble wish is to see the white sail of commerce swelling in every port, and carrying the productions of British industry as far as the blue waters roll, or the winds can waft it.—(Great cheering). In the afternoon Mr. Dundas entertained about 100 gentlemen at dinner in the Hopetoun Rooms. After the toasts of the King— the Duke of York and the Army—Lord Melville and the Navy— sad the Duke of Wellington, the LORD PRovosT said, he begged to crave a bumper, which he meant to dedicate to the health of the L ord Register —Air—" Up and waur them a', Willie." The Lotto REGISTER returned thanks, and gave the Lord Pro vost and Magistrates of the City. The toasts of the Constitution in Church and State ; the Judges Blanket --th e the Land ; the Officers of the North British Staff; the Blue 4 aoket--the Convener and his Brethren, followed in succession. The health of Sir George Clerk, and success to his election, wis next given. The Lord Register said there was one gentlemen present whose tea for the welfare of the country was not exceeded by any indi lidual. After some farther remarks, lie concluded by proposing too memory of Henry Lord Melville. After the health of Sir Walter Scott—The memory of the Lord ' l4 f Baron—Mre.

It does not contain any political news of im portance, but is principally filled with repetitions of the accounts relative to Missolonghi. We give, how ever, copious extracts in another column, by which it will be observed, that the brutal taste of the Turks has been at length gratified, by the arrival at Constan tinople of five sacks, full of heads and ears of the Greeks; but that it had been disappointed in another particular, by the rescue of four Greek Captains, who were to have been publicly executed for the satisfaction of the people. It is a disgrace to civilized Europe, that these barbarities should be allo*wed to pollute this quarter of the globe! It is stated, that a Turkish squadron of four two deckers, four frigates, and ten or twelve ships, carry ing, from '2O to 28 guns each, had sailed on the 17th nay from Constantinople, under the Capital) PAcitA, with the view of co-operating with IBtAHIM in an attack on Hydra and -Spezzia. If this be true, the fate of Greece must be speedily decided, but we much doubt the correctness of the statement, with regard to the extent of the Thrkish squadron.

A letter in the Emile, from Cadiz, states that the population is every day on the decline ; and observes, ,‘ That this city so renowned, and so rich, the entrepot of the commerce of the two worlds, and which not long since beheld the ships of other nations of Europe at anchor in its port become tributary to her, will become in a short' time nothing more than a strong place, burdensome to Spain ; its walls thrown down by the inroads of the sea are now menaced with a destruction which the financial embar rassments of Spain will not permit her to avert. If the revolution of the States of America has given the first blow to the prosperity, of her commerce, the acknowledgment by England of the independence of those rich countries complet es her ruin. Respectable and commercial families are leaving it, and the people are gradually transferring their industry elsewhere. Twenty-six merchants very lately closed their counting houses and abandoned the city. The want of employ ment, and the high price of provisions, make want be generally felt, and from want to misery there is but a single step. The Journal de Paris also contains a letter from Madrid, dated the Ist of June, detailing the disor- , dered state of several of the Provinces ; and informa- tion derived from other sources, represents the utmost distress and want of confidence to prevail in all direc tions. This deplorable condition of the whole of Spain, is a striking example of the degradation and misery into which a country may be plunged by the measures of a weak, a bigotted, and a tyrannical Government. It appears by the Foreign Journals that the younger daughter of the King and Qtjeen of DENMARK is to be united in marriage with her cousin, the young Prince FREDERICK CHRISTIAN, now in his 18th year, son of Prince CHRISTIAN, on whom the Crown will devolve on the death of his present MAJESTY, in consequence of the KING not having male issue. The PRINCESS is almost of the same age as the PnnicE, and a mutual attachment having been formed between them, they have been solemnly betrothed to each other at Court with great splendour. The young PBINCE is to proceed immediately to Geneva to com plete his education; The the German Papers state that the coronation of Emperor NICHOLAS has been postponed to the month of August, in consequence of the death of the Empress ELIZABETH. We hav e rece i ved this morning the A ustrian - O b- server of the 3d Jun e , t h e T r i este Observe?: of the 30th May, .and the Frankfort Journal of the Bth. June, from which we give the following extracts. — Their other contents are not interesting. VIENNA, JUNI 2. According to accounts from Zante, the. Capitan Pacha's fleet, consisting of SS sail, was seen on t h e 8d May steering towards the south :- it was supposed to be goin g aga i nst H y dra. Accord ing to th e sa me accounts, the Civil Go vernment at Napoli di Ro mania had been replaced by a Military'Government, at the head of whi c h W as Colixotroni. Since the taking of Missolonghl and the departure of the Greek ships from those ports, the complaints of piracy are metre frequent than ever. Captain Lauea, col unanding an Aostrian merchant- JUNE 2.---„MetailigllCS, 90i ;, Bank Shares, 1111 1-sth The high feelings of the members of the University indignantly spurned the administration of the Bribery Oath, and this practice, which had not been in force on former occasions, was abandoned. In the City, Mr. WARD yesterday gained consider ably on Mr. WOOD, and has to-day passed him. The friends of the LORD MAYOR continue sanguine as to his success, relying on the spare votes of Mr. TflomPsoN, which will be given the last day. What a mortification to the pride of the meddling Alderman will it be, if he should he ejected from his long con tinued seat in the House of Commons ! We anticipate this consummation So' devoutly to be wished,' by the tone in Which Mr. POLLEN has addressed the Livery in Mr. WooD's behalf, which evidently be speaks apprehension for the Alderman's fate. At Chichester, Lord GEORGE LENNOX and Mr. I'OYNTZ have triumphed over Sir GODFREY 'WEB STER and the Radicals. At Preston, COBBETT remains at the bottom of the roll. The Yorkshire Election has happily closed by the resignation of Mr. BETHEL", which saves the other Candidates the enormous expence which would other wise have been unavoidable. Hobart Town Papers to the 14th of January were received .at the North and South American Coffee House s by tl .e Denmark Hill. (From the Colonial Times of the lSth January.)

We have been informed they have retired into the interior, somewhere in the neighbourhood of the, &Iles. We are entry to announce to the inhabitants of Hobart Town, that we have received information that it is the intention of to remove the establish ment of the lumber yard, to New Norfolk, thus is the long threat ened removal of the seat of Government to be carried into effect. City Lot:, FEn. 9, 18Q6.—The Anna Brown, from Nicobar, Islands to Rangoon, experienced stormy `weather and sunk two. tiays after Nailing, according to the accoont« given by two Nathan who landed at listtieals the end of Iva month, they state they were $0 days at am withont provision., and that the master anti ,ix of the crew died in tile boat.

The schooner lieliaariu.s, Hawkins, foundered at sea the 12th of April. By letters from Cronstadt, dated 29th May (MS.), they were in expectation of receiving a visit from the Emperor Nicholas. Great preparations were making to receive , him with the highest honours ; all the vessels were to hoist their colours, and man the yards of the Neva, of Hull, by men dressed in blue jackets and white trowsers ; all the Russian men-of-war, consisting of 13 sail, are full rigged, at anchor outside the Mole. The town of Cronstadt was, however, i n a most d ep l ora b le state ; most of the shops were seized and seals put on the doors and windows, and the inhabitants sent to prison, in consequence of the Government having found stores and other property concealed in them, which had been plundered from the arsenal. The Concordia, Williams, from Batavia, hound for. A.ntwerp, put into the Cape of Good Rope, with loss of tbremast, and hay. lug thrown overboard 149 hags of coffee. By the Denmark packet, Captain Foreman, arrived at Cowes, kom New South Wales and Van Diemen's Land, papers and letters have been received to the 17th January, from the latter port. We lament to observe they are chiefly filled with continued distressing accounts of the depredations of the Rush Rangers, who rob and plunder the settlers there in the most daring manner. It would appear they go in bodies well armed, and these robberies are frequently attended with violence and even murder. The Governor seemed unpopular, but he was using every exertion, and extremely anxious to put down . this dreadful system, in which he had the best wishes of all the Co lonists. Accounts from Constantinople state, that the third Turkish fleet had sailed from the Dardanelles, and that a ship of the line, commanded by Achmet Effendi, had *truck on the coast of Scu tari. It was expected, that Achmet Effendi would lose his life in consequence of this being the third vessel he had lost. THE FUNDS. CITY, Twelve n•cioch this Day.

We never remember any contest which excited such an intense anxiety as that now going on for the honour of representing the University of Cambridge. The present .state,, of this contest has verified the predictions which we hazarded before its commence ment. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL'S return is Se cure, but the result of .the struggle between the other, candidates is still not quite certain, though victory seems to hover over Lord PALMERTON. His Lordship standing on the support of those who do not object to further concessions to the Catholics, and consequently carrying with him the support of all .the Whig's. of the University, has had a decided advantage over Mr. BANKES and Mr. GOULBURN, whose principles agree in all leading points, the effect of which has been to split the votes of the advocates of those principles. It is still thought that Mr. BANKES may be returned, as it is presumed that if it be once clearly ascertained that Mr. GOULBURN has no chance of success, he will resign before his committees are polled, by which means they will be able to give their votes to Mr. BANKES. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE WINDSOR, JUNE 14.—The King paid a visit to the Castle yesterday afternoon, to observe the progress of the different works.

They met ut the Magpie and - Stump ; one went to vote !Or an experiment, and finding he passed, re turned to the society, and said, " 1)--me, I've opened the ball, you may all get up and dance." This he himself proved in the Court of King's Bench, and that they committed the perjury for 30s. a-piece. Mr. Phillips said he knew a man who went to pall eight times at the Drogheda election; Seven times he succeeded by altering his dress and his gait, and actually on one occasion shaved his head. On the eighth time an elector said to him—: " What, Dennis, are you Verne to Vote again ?"—" Oh ! no," replied he, " 11l not vote any more, for by J—a I'm tired - of it." HOW TO OBTAIN A LOAN OF A FittEbitte—Sir Richard Steele was in the habit of frequenting Batson's Coffee house daily, where, amongst others, he got acquainted with an old Gentleman, who considered Sir Richard es a man of come,. quence, and one to whom it was an honour to be known ; and, amongst other things, made professions of friendship to him in a pecuniary way. Sir Richard looked upon him as a sure friend in the hour of distress, and having occasion for 2001., applied to his friend for the loan of that sum with touch confid eom , b ut was much surprised at reeei'ving en answer, expressive of regret that he was not able to comp!) , with the request. Steel e , b ou ,„ ever, was not to b e put off in such a manner, but gravely told him, that as he had drawn from him the secret of his wants, be would take care to prevent his having the power to expose them; therefore, the alternative was, the money or a duel. The Oen tieroa,n was embarrassed for a time, but recollecting that it duel Might deprive hint of all his money, ha consented to lend the sum r e q u i re d, which Sir Richard took, and repaid at his own convenience, but immediately cut his friend's acquaintance.
